A good back row in the modern game makes space for the 3rd pivot (Gregg) by getting defenders to “bite” in and create a 3 on 2 where he can pick pass. We are lacking that and I would suspect the signing of Laithwaite (TBC) is to remedy that.

Mcnally joins the line now, it's the edges that fail to read him or make an absolute hash of it. As for Laithwaite,can he still do the business? Thats a question he was asking himself by training with them.

Well I think Widnes should have got rid of Marsh a few years ago to be honest. Lost a lot of speed the past 3 years with injuries and he constantly keeps his head down when runs. He will show effort and surprised he has not got injured, as usually breaks down after a few games.

It shows how sometimes things can work out or not. Look at Evans, hardly played for you guys, couldn’t stay fit yet hasn’t missed a games for the Bulls, I don’t think! Playing well too and turning into a decent signing
